Abstract: 8576. Schneider, C. P. E. April 15. Loading-appliances.-Relates to apparatus for conveying ammunition from the charge carrier to the gun, and consists in causing the charge carrier to advance towards the gun, at such a speed, that the ammunition is carried into the gun chamber by its momentum, thereby dispensing with rammers. Figs. 1, 2, 3, show one form, Fig. 1 showing a vertical section of the whole apparatus, Fig. 2 a plan of the chargecarrier frame, and Fig. 3 a plan of the charge carrier. The carrier is provided at its rear end with supporting-rollers a, a', and guide-rollers b, b<1>, and its front end travels over rollers c, c', which are mounted on the carrier frame. The projectile is held on the carrier by the engagement of its ring H with the shoulders M. When the carrier is advanced, its forward end travels over the rollers c, c<1>, until it projects into the breech opening, as shown at o, at which time the rollers c, c<1> reach recesses in the underside of the carrier, thereby permitting the carrier-nose to drop upon the gun. At the same time, the plate d, which is hinged at e to the carrier, is raised by coming in contact with the rollers g, g', and the projectile is thus disengaged from the shoulders M, and is carried by its momentum into the gun. The carrier is provided with a spring buffer s, and is normally locked to the frame by triggers h, h'. In modifications, (1) Fig. 12, the carrier is provided with a sliding rod a, which is driven rearwards when the carrier strikes the gun, the outward movement of the rod being converted by the lever b into an inward movement of the projectile, (2) Fig. 14, the carrier is provided with a sliding rod b having a strong spring d, which is released when the carrier strikes the gun, the spring acting through the collar B, the rod b, and the arm c to push the projectile forward, and, acting against the shoulder h, to push the carrier rearwards, and (3) Fig. 18, the carrier consists of an endless band a, which is mounted on rollers b, and is operated by hand or by mechanism.

Title: Improved Automatic Water Feed Device for Gas Generating Apparatus.
Inventor: BAUER CHARLES
Filed: 1905-04-05
Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 7241. Bauer, C., [G³ldner Motoren Ges.]. April 5. Generators or producers.-Water is fed into a suction gas-producer by means of a device actuated by the suction action of the motor, the quantity of water depending upon the load of the motor. The feed apparatus comprises a water cup a, communicating by means of holes b, with a vertical pipe c which encloses an overflow pipe d leading to the air duct of the producer. When equilibrium exists between the water in the cup and that in the annular space e between the pipes, the water level is below the overflow holes f. During the suction stroke of the motor, a partial vacuum is produced in the air duct, and consequently in the annular space e, so that the water level rises above the overflow holes and water passes to the producer. A separate duct may be used to connect the upper end of the overflow tube with the air duct. The feeding-device may also be used with a pressure gas-producer, in which case the cup is closed and connected with the pressure duct of the producer.

Granted: 1906-04-25
Abstract: 8721. Westdeutsche Thomas-phosphat- Werke Ges. April 7, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Gases, treating electrically; nitrogen oxides, acids, and salts.-In the production of oxides of nitrogen by means of the electric arc, an increased yield is obtained by reducing the pressure both in the arc chamber and in the absorption apparatus connected thereto. When, instead of water, soda lye, or limewater, absorbing-solutions are used which give off gases under the action of the nitrogen oxides, e.g. common-salt solution, further absorption vessels are added containing liquids, such as water or milk of lime, which rapidly absorb the hydrochloric acid or other gas evolved, and so keep up and increase the vacuum in the apparatus. Any nitrous acid remaining can be oxidized to nitric acid by so arranging the apparatus that untreated air can be led in through the arc chamber to the other vessels, after stopping the electric current.

Granted: 1906-06-02
Abstract: 9322. Honeywood, D., and Ellis, F. A. May 3. Gas and explosive-vapour engines, rotary. The vane forming the piston has a uniform motion, while the other, or abutment vane, moves with a variable velocity. The abutment a, Fig. 1, is fixed to a sleeve, which works over the driving- shaft c, passes through the cylinder cover, and is connected to brake blocks working in conjunction with a brake-ring fixed to or cast with the cylinder cover. The driving-piston h is keyed to the shaft c along with an eccentric and strap s, t, which gives a swinging motion to a toothed sector w engaging with a pinion x on the sleeve b. The pinion x is provided with a " free-wheel " clutch which acts with the brake blocks, the effect of this gear being to impart to the abutment a a rapid motion so that it may overtake the piston h at the point where the motive fluid enters. The explosive vapour is admitted by a slide valve i, actuated by the cam j through the spring-loaded rod k, levers l, n, and sbaft m. The inner parts of the pistons a, h occupy half the width, and their outer portions overhang to the whole width, of the cylinder. The engine can be made reversible by duplicating the necessary parts.
